Johann Gasteiger (* 27 October 1941 in Dachau) is a German Chemist and a Chemoinformatician on which he wrote and edited various books.
Johann Gasteiger studied Chemistry at Universität München, ETH Zürich and Universität Zürich. He obtained his PhD in Organic Chemistry at Universität München in 1971 with Professor Rolf Huisgen. After Postdoc at the University of California, Berkeley until 1972, he was an assistant professor at Technische Universität München und received his Habilitation in 1979 under the mentorship of Professor Ivar Ugi. From 1994 until 2007 he was a professor lehrte at University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in the "Computer-Chemie-Centrum", which he cofounded. In 1997, Johann Gasteiger founded the company Molecular Networks, which distributes software developed at the Computer-Chemie-Centrum.
Johann Gasteiger is one of the pioneers of Cheminformatics. His main research interest is the development of software for drug design (for example via QSAR, the simulation of chemical reactions, for synthesis planning in organic chemistry, machine learning for spectroscopy, and the application of neural networks and genetic algorithms in chemistry.
